Question

the sum of 2 numbers is 11/12 . if one of them is 5/6 ,find the other ​

Answer 1

Question :-

The sum of 2 numbers is 11/2. If one of them is 5/6, find the other.

Given,

Sum of two numbers equals to 11/2

One of the numbers equals to 5/6

Now,

Let the other number be $x$.

Thus,

$x+\frac{5}{6} =\frac{11}{12}$

$x=\frac{11}{12} -\frac{5}{6}$

$x=\frac{11}{12} -\frac{10}{12}$

$x=\frac{1}{12}$

Verification,

LHS = $x+\frac{5}{6}$

= $\frac{1}{12} +\frac{5}{6}$

= $\frac{1}{12} +\frac{10}{12}$

= $\frac{11}{12}$

RHS = $\frac{11}{12}$

LHS = RHS hence, verified.

Therefore,

$\frac{1}{12}$ should be added to $\frac{5}{6}$ to get $\frac{11}{12}$.

Answer 2

Answer:

let the other number be x

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6+x=11/12

x=11/12-5/6

x= 11*6-12*5/12*6

=66-60/72

6/72=1/12

x=1/12

the other number is 1/12
